Types of rhyme
The word "rhyme" can be used in a specific and a general sense!. In the specific sense, two words rhyme if their final stressed vowel and all following sounds are identical; two lines of poetry rhyme if their final strong positions are filled with rhyming words!. A rhyme in the strict sense is also called a "perfect rhyme"!. Examples are sight and flight, deign and gain, madness and sadness!.
Perfect rhymes can be classified according to the number of syllables included in the rhyme
masculine: a rhyme in which the stress is on the final syllable of the words!. (rhyme, sublime, crime)
feminine: a rhyme in which the stress is on the penultimate (second from last) syllable of the words!. (picky, tricky, sticky)
dactylic: a rhyme in which the stress is on the antepenultimate (third from last) syllable ('cacophonies", "Aristophanes")
In the general sense, "rhyme" can refer to various kinds of phonetic similarity between words, and to the use of such similar-sounding words in organizing verse!. Rhymes in this general sense are classified according to the degree and manner of the phonetic similarity:
syllabic: a rhyme in which the last syllable of each word sounds the same but does not necessarily contain vowels!. (cleaver, silver, or pitter, patter)
imperfect: a rhyme between a stressed and an unstressed syllable!. (wing, caring)
semirhyme: a rhyme with an extra syllable on one word!. (bend, ending)
oblique (or slant): a rhyme with an imperfect match in sound!. (green, fiend)
assonance: matching vowels!. (shake, hate)
consonance: matching consonants!. (her, dark)
half rhyme (or sprung rhyme): matching final consonants!. (bent, ant)
alliteration (or head rhyme): matching initial consonants!. (short,ship)Www@QuestionHome@Com
